=head1 NAME

Quickrep, version 1.2.2
Created February 21, 2002

=head1 SYNOPSIS

quickrep.pl C<--changes> C<--cookie|--nocookie> C<--data|--nodata> C<-
+-show=I>

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Quickly check changes in your Perl Monks' nodes' reputations.

=head1 OPTIONS

--changes: Display only those nodes that are new or whose reputations 
+have changed.

--cookie|--nocookie: Save your login information in a cookie file. Fut
+ure uses will use the cookie instead of attempting to login again,
                     making the program run faster. Use --nocookie if 
+you do not wish to save this cookie, for example, if you are logging
                     in from a friend's machine. Cookies are used by d
+efault.

--data|--nodata: Save an XML file of your nodes' reputations. Quickrep
+ uses this to measure changes, so disabling this option will
                 prevent you from seeing any changes. The data file is
+ used by default.

--show=I: Show only the top I nodes.

=head1 CHANGELOG

1.2.2 Added pod documentation. Changed copyright information.
      Now abbreviating long node titles.

1.2.1 Changed the way the 'changes' option is handled. Minor
      formatting edits. Added additional trailing newlines.

1.2.0 Changed some of the data structures used. Added 'show' and
      'changes' command line options. Added changelog.

1.1.1 Cleaned up unnecessary code.

1.1.0 Added 'cookie' and 'data' command line options. Quickrep
      now saves the user's cookie. Added username/password prompts.

1.0.1 Small formatting error fixed. Added proxy support.

1.0.0 Quickrep released.

Re: Quickrep

    First of all: as always your work is appreciated.
    Then some remarks... I installed XML::Simple from CPAN and can't connect to perlmonks.org because I'm living behind a very strict firewall. Then you'll find that the error message should be rearranged:
    from:
    die "Error logging in: $result->code() $result->message()"
    to
    die "Error logging in:\nCode:", $result->code(), "Reason: ", $result- +>message(), "\n"
    Now I'll give it -say- 5 minutes to find out how to get through the FW using a proxy... hang on :)

    Update1: Somehow the env_proxy() method (as described in man lwpcook doesn't work, so I use this (add after the cookie-jar line)

    if (defined $ENV{'http_proxy'}) { print "Using HTTP Proxy: $ENV{'http_proxy'}\n"; $agent->proxy(http => $ENV{'http_proxy'}); }
    Now I'll take a short look what goes wrong with nodes having a negative reputation (yes, I got one of those, you should have one, too: just for testing purposes *grin*)

    Update2 Just replace the %3u in the printf statements at the end of the script by %3d so we can display negative numbers...

    Update3: Sorry, a '\' has sneak into the first fix: right before the 'R' of 'Reason'. Removed it...

    Regards... Stefan
    you begin bashing the string with a +42 regexp of confusion
